I'm away from my home Linux machine now, but this sounds like maybe Geany doesn't call

This is a function call though, not an option you can tweak without code changes. Perhaps someone developer who actually runs multi-head knows more ...
Hi Stephan,
I run Geany on Gnome on multihead without real problems. The dialog is explicitly positioned each time its created and that position is remembered the next startup.
If you move Geany across monitors you get it confused, AFAIK the window manager doesn't inform Geany of the change so it can't compensate. Just move the dialog again and it should stay there.
Again this might be fixed by session management upgrades, but I doubt it.
Note Emil's reference is to GTK3 and Geany is NOT gtk3 compatible (or it might be just that the stupid GTK docs make it too easy to get into GTK3 when you want GTK2).
Cheers Lex
